Passionate for paradise? This water-soaked excursion was made with your name on it. An epic voyage aboard the 82-foot (25-m) Passions of Paradise sails to snorkeling meccas of Michaelmas Cay (the largest uninhabited coral cay in the region), and Paradise Reef, an exclusive mooring spot.

Your journey begins onboard a chic catamaran, outfitted for both speed and comfort—and even includes the option to sail. Grab a sunny seat on deck as you set off for Michaelmas Cay and Paradise Reef.

First up: Michaelmas Cay. Hosting a spectacular beach that enables snorkeling directly off the sand, this national park contains protected, calm waters—home to sea turtles and thousands of brightly colored reef fish. After brief instructions, strap on your mask, and clamor in for your first close-up introduction to the reef.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, hop back on the boat for a sumptuous tropical buffet lunch, freshly prepared by the onboard chef. From here, sail to Paradise Reef. Exclusive to your tour alone, this unique spot comes crowd and tourist free—leaving plenty of one-on-one time for you and its undersea inhabitants.

Snorkel, enjoy a SCUBA demonstration, or choose the optional upgrade for your own deeper water dive. Then, as you head back to Cairns, sip afternoon tea as the captain cuts the motor—and you sail your way back to shore.
